Families sought to Take Part in an Exciting New Show

Mediaworks And Xventure Search for Families to Take Part in an Exciting New Show

MediaWorks are excited to announce a partnership with TV producers and global experts in team dynamics and leadership development, XVenture. The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity now exists for New Zealand families to put their best foot forward to participate in the brand new TV show "XVenture Family Challenge NZ”.

Proudly sponsored by New Zealand’s trusted family brand, Ecostore, the show brings together 24 families to compete in a range of fun, engaging and testing challenges.

Hosted by Simon Barnett, challenges are designed to test all aspects of teamwork, where every member of the team will need to play a part in order to be successful. This is not about the fittest, fastest and strongest - sometimes children will lead the adults and vice versa, with families supported throughout by world class coaching and experts in team dynamics. The family who succeeds will be the one which works together and stays together throughout to take home the $25,000 cash prize and title of XVenture Family Challenge NZ Champions!

Head of Programming for MediaWorks TV, Ben Quinn says: “We’re looking forward to this new and unique family oriented format being added to Three’s lineup. This is a great opportunity for MediaWorks to work with XVenture and Ecostore to make this experience come alive.”

XVenture founder and programme creator, Mike Conway says: “We are thrilled to be working with both MediaWorks and Ecostore on this exciting project. A happy and harmonious family environment is so important yet we know it can be tricky at the best of times. Putting families through their paces and testing out their teamwork and communication skills is going to be an exciting proposition. I can’t wait to let them loose on the challenges we’ve got in store for them!”
